OCR Level 3 Cambridge Technical Art & Design Unit 20 Exploring Digital Photography template. (2012 Series) This powerpoint is an annotated workbook that teachers can use to develop their unit 20 course content or for students to use as a workbook to create their unit 20 coursework. The powerpoint consists of 51 slides taking students through all the key components of what is needed to meet the assessment criteria of this unit. All of the images within the powerpoint are stock images that try to represent the style of image that is required by the student where ever possible. Each section prompts the student to analyse and use their own images to meet course objectives. Use alongside the OCR assessment and grading criteria so that students have a clear idea of how to work towards pass, merit or distinction. This powerpoint is fully editable and I would encourage editing of text and stock images to ensure indivduality of slide layout and theme. Using the ‘designer’ feature within powerpoint will ensure consistancy of theme.
